For over two decades, Mister E has been creating a friendly and fun, gentle and interactive space for kids to use their voices, bodies, and imagination while introducing them to new songs and instruments.

Mister E (Eric Nassau) has been a professional musician for over 20 years. He has taught guitar lessons to children across central Ohio including Barrington Elementary, Robert Louis Stevenson Elementary, Edison Intermediate, and the Boys and Girls Club of Columbus. Previously, he worked as a teacher at the Columbus Children's Theatre and at the Hartford Children's Theatre (CT).

Mister E's music programs provide an interactive concert for children. His catchy original songs encourage children to move about the space jumping, clapping, stomping and shouting in "Your Dinosaur Roars, My Dinosaur Snores", learning to add in "13 Llamas in the Kalama-ZOO", searching and recognizing shapes, colors, and patterns in "Secret Agent Person", learning new languages "A La Playa" and learning new words about Ice Cream in "A La Mode!"

Many of Mister E's original songs were composed to fit within themes provided by the schools or libraries he has worked with. His original compositions are backed by familiar songs by Laurie Berkner, Jim Gill, Raffi, Ella Jenkins, Billy Jonas as well as traditional children's music and nursery rhymes.

Mister E's programs are performed on a variety of instruments including the guitar, mandolin, ukulele, banjo, harmonica, kazoo, and other rhythmic instruments. Children will enjoy learning about these each of these instruments and listening to their differences.

I have a Crate Acoustic 60 watt amp that seems to be loud enough for most rooms. For larger spaces I may need to rent a larger PA.
I will need an outlet and possibly an extension cord, depending on where you want me to perform.

For smaller shows, I may not need a PA at all.

I currently have no lighting
